My approach to therapyI believe that therapy is a very special, private, and personal decision. Choosing the right therapist is important. The therapist you choose needs to not only be professionally competent and well-trained, but also feel like someone you can work with in order to find solutions that work for you. I provide information on this page to help you make the best choices for you and/or your family. Of course I am also available by phone to answer any questions you may have.

I am a mental health professional, author, teacher, lecturer, and resident serving Ventura County for over twenty-five years. I strive to maintain only the highest level of professionalism in all that I do. I have served on many Boards of Directors and other leadership roles within my profession and received honors and recognition for my services.
